Zoe Gardner states from the start that this is a self-indulgent show. But that doesn’t excuse it from being so: this is such a gleeful wallow in comedy industry in-jokery, she might as well not have an audience at all.

To guide us through the mess, Gardner takes on the guise of her not particularly funny producer, who makes great play of the fact that this is a character showcase, talks us through Gardner’s background and breaks down the show’s budget. In the process, comic Nick Mohammed arrives as the ‘special guest’ – but his only point is to look for Gardner’s producer, flirt with the show technician and extract himself from an awkward romantic tiff.

All this poorly disguises the fact that Gardner has basically come to Edinburgh with one good character skit: a dim care assistant called Kayley, whose career advice talk is enough to have schoolchildren running a mile from the profession. Gardner’s trying the difficult art of successful self-sabotage here, but hasn’t pulled it off.
